Oh, the moon lights so bright makes me lonely tonight
|
Everything seems to make me feel blue here
|
I'm down hearted now I'm lonesome somehow
|
'Cause you are proving untrue.
|
|
But why should I be so lonely
|
Why should I be so sad
|
Though another is taking from me
|
The best pal that I ever had.
|
|
She's taking the sunshine with her
|
And leaving the clouds for me
|
But why should I be so lonesome
|
When there's nobody lonesome for me.
|
|
The violets so blue are calling for you
|
The roses so sweet make me lonely
|
They bring to my mind a sweet happy time
|
When your love was only for me.
|
|
But why should I be so lonely
|
Why should I be so sad
|
Though another is taking from me
|
The best pal that I ever had.
|
|
She's taking the sunshine with her
|
And leaving the clouds for me
|
But why should I be so lonesome
|
When there's nobody lonesome for me...
